Adobe Lightroom - How do you save your changes

http://bit.ly/arbMhJ

I have been getting questions from people just starting out with Lightroom asking how do they save the changes that they are making to their photos. They are used to making changes than having to save them.

Well in lightroom all your tweaks to photos get saved in side car files called XMP's. To hear all about this please watch this video.

Saving your changes?first create a folder. Just go to 'File' select 'Export with preset' then 'Burn full-sized JPEG"s. thats all. =)

@LiviuPavel they will be saved in the side car file also but in order to use it to print you have to export into a jpeg.

Hey jared,

simple question from me as i am new to lightroom 3 and imac. if i am using lightroom 3 to edit my files, does it change the original file that i see in iphoto that i am using or does it go into that sup folder you talk about, metadata? i want to keep the original seperate from my edited versions
